Greek riot police used teargas on the 14 October 2010 to disperse dozens of culture ministry employees blocking access to the Acropolis monuments, the country’s leading tourist attraction.

The move signalled that the socialist government is raising the stakes in its push to implement unpopular austerity measures, as previous strikes by guards at the site had been tolerated.
